I have a dual processor computer under general preferences it has switch between applications every 60 min. My Einstein@home has been on Paused from around 9am.
Should I set this default to 0 and update?

No. If Einstein has recently had a period where no work was on your computer, it will have a debt of 0, and will have to wait until the debt for einstein has worked its way back up to where the other project is.

How often a project gets CPU time also depend upon the resource share for that project.

If you are running 4.2x, you can try unsuspending the project and all of the WUs in it.

No I’m running Boinc 4.19.
So this is normal to have 2 Seti projects running an having the Einstein project setting there doing nothing.

The resource sharing is 50/50.
